Not the butter-and-syrup kind but savory ones made with sourdough batter and studded with sea urchin, squid, smoked sturgeon, and the like. Basically, serve any salty or tangy ingredient in pancake form and I’ll order it, from State Bird Provisions in San Francisco to Chez Sardine in New York. Pictured above: Sourdough pancakes with sauerkraut, Pecorino, ricotta, and sauerkraut salt at S.F.’s State Bird Provisions. (Credit: Tuuka Koski)
